KAYTRANADA and Childish Gambino Unite in Spellbinding ‘Witchy’ Video Release

KAYTRANADA has dropped the highly anticipated video for “Witchy,” featuring Childish Gambino, a standout track from his 2024 album TIMELESS. Directed by Bethany Vargas, who previously worked on the album’s much-praised visualizers, the video brings a supernatural flair, with KAYTRANADA and Childish Gambino reuniting to perform in a haunting, mystical setting. The visual adds a captivating layer to an already fan-favorite track, enhancing its allure with cinematic precision.

The release coincides with KAYTRANADA’s ongoing TIMELESS North American tour, which has been met with widespread acclaim. Tonight, he hits Philadelphia, with two shows at New York’s Forest Hills Stadium later this week. As the tour progresses, it continues to solidify KAYTRANADA’s status as a global force in dance music. His ability to translate the energy of his studio albums into electrifying live performances has been finely tuned over a decade of headlining tours and his recent stint opening for The Weeknd’s After Hours Til Dawn tour.

The TIMELESS tour also features Channel Tres as a special guest across all dates, with select appearances from artists like Amaarae, Sam Gellaitry, Kitty Ca$h, and Lou Phelps, making it a must-see event. The “Witchy” video only amplifies the excitement surrounding KAYTRANADA’s current run—offering both stunning visuals and a testament to his ever-evolving artistry.
